long night fire

The high-performance batteries in the "Underground Ark" are more than that, but considering the defense needs of the management committee, Jiang Baimian didn't take them all.

And these batteries are temporarily staying in Redstone with Gnawa - as the former mayor of Tarnan, he became the temporary chairman of the "Underground Ark" management committee, and waited until it got on the right track Only then will he go to the "Afu Gun Shop" in Weed City to meet Shang Jianyao and others.

Considering that he was still wanted by "Mechanical Paradise", Gnava lived in the ark, except for partying with the vigilance sect, he basically didn't show up in the redstone set.

If there is any trouble, he will escape through the iron mountain entrance of the ark.

As for the new military exoskeleton device "M-45", it was given to the "Old Tune Team" by the residents of Ark as a thank you gift.Based on the actual situation of the "old tune group", Jiang Baimian could not refuse.

In this way, Bai Chen's combat ability will be greatly enhanced.

As for the color-changing luminous pearl, after Shang Jianyao's experiment, it was confirmed that it was Dimarco's "Fate Pass" that was solidified. Of course, this must be much weaker than the original version.

After talking about the harvest, Jiang Baimian, who was driving, glanced at Bai Chen and said with a smile:

"This time you're the only one hurt.

"Actually, I've always been a little surprised. Xiaobai, who is usually the most wise and safe, not only didn't object to the 'beheading operation' this time, but also acted a little positively."

Bai Chen in the passenger seat looked at the windshield, was silent for a while and said:

"I have always believed that in such dusty soil, it is already very difficult for everyone to survive, and one should not meddle in other people's affairs.

"At the beginning, when I was caught by Eugene and became a slave, that's what I told myself."

She paused for two seconds, her eyes gradually emptied:

"But, but I still can't help but think, if someone, some team suddenly descends and rescues me, that would be great..."

"It's very good." Jiang Baimian fully understood and didn't say anything more.

Shang Jian Yao said with a smile:

"So, are you going to officially join the action to save all mankind this time?"

Bai Chen ignored him.

While chatting, Shang Jianyao squeezed his temples on both sides, leaned back, and closed his eyes.

In the "Sea of ​​Origin", on the sunny island with mountains and water.

A huge pothole appeared near the beach, which was shocking.

Shang Jianyao stared at the pothole that had not recovered because of his departure, with a smile on his face.

Then he forked out more of himself, dug a ditch, and channeled the spring water into the hole.

When Shang Jianyao was "catching up on sleep", Long Yuehong listened to the team leader chatting with Bai Chen, interjecting a few words from time to time, while looking out the window.

At this time, the sky was light blue and clear, dotted with clouds, and the jeep was running in the wilderness and hills, returning to the distant "Pangian creatures".

Along the way, there are fresh green everywhere, and wild beasts looming.

Winter is over and spring is here.

(End of the third part)

Summary of the third part

At the end of another chapter, I wrote a total of 198 chapters, about 62 words. On average, each chapter is more than [-] words, but I didn’t specifically pursue the control of the number of words. The time is three thousand five or six hundred.

The volume of this part is called "Fate", and the opening line is "This is the spring of hope, this is the winter of disappointment". At the end, like a secret, the order of these two sentences was reversed and placed at the end— ——"This is the winter of disappointment, this is the spring of hope", perhaps the expression of the theme and overall atmosphere of this film will be more accurate, it is a state of spiraling forward in disappointment and hope, and different sequences reflect different emphasis.

But I don't really want to repeat the same way of writing, especially such obvious repetition, otherwise how can I show my ability? (Big boo.

Therefore, I ended up using "winter is over, spring is here" at the end. In this way, the sense of light will be stronger, and it will be relatively better to use other examples in the same chapter to set off the despair mixed with hope. Clearly set up the main line goal of "investigating the source of the heartless disease and the cause of the destruction of the old world", which was relatively vague before.

This is very important for the whole book and for the tension of the subsequent plot.

Speaking of the title, "Fate" is taken from Beethoven's "Fifth Symphony in C Minor". My arcane friends should be able to directly think of the meaning of "holding the throat of fate" from this name and its origin.

The main line of this Ming Dynasty is the investigation of the "cause of the destruction of the old world", and it is a journey to new places, and because investigations of this kind of thing will not always have too strong gains at the beginning, it is difficult to keep the plot tension Stretched, it is difficult to use suspenseful techniques to hook well, so the story structure is closer to travel notes, and the form is relatively loose.

In order not to disperse, the dark main line I gave is the theme of "people and fate", including what is a person, including the cries, questions, regrets and unwillingness made by different people when fate knocks on the door.

On this dark line, I use the "resonant structure", well, I named it myself, and I don't know what it is called in the formal writing class.

In short, on the same or similar issues, at different stages, from different angles, from different populations, voices are voiced again and again, forming echoes.

In the end, Shang Jianyao superimposed these echoes together to make his own voice to complete the landing of his character.

In the entire "Fate" volume, the refugees from Wild Grass City, Han Wanghuo, and Gnawa are a relatively obvious group of echoes, and the servants who died silently in "Underground Ark" are a reflection of the tragic death of the residents of Black Rat Town in the first volume. An echo of the massacre, these two sets of echoes together, almost express the hidden meaning I want.

In fact, in Tarnan, I also made a small "resonant structure", which revolved around the phrase "dreams everywhere, why take it seriously", and let it continue to be spoken from Zhou Guanzhu and Shang Jianyao, forming a funny and funny In the end, the sadness behind Zhou Guanzhu's words is shown, so that there is a tearful face under the smiling face, and tragedy behind the comedy.

During that period, I felt pretty good about myself, all the sadness was surging in the calm and darkness, laughing.

In addition, the entire dark line and all the echoes are also serving to shape the characters. After all, it is impossible to write about Shang Jianyao’s psychological activities. How to implement him as a person and write it plumply is very, uh, in Sichuan dialect Speaking of it, it is very brain-breaking.This method of letting him make the last echo and give his own answer is probably a way.

After talking about what you want to express and what you actually express, let's talk about the problem.

The biggest problem is the problem of writing the travel notes.

For travel notes, you must change the map, and you have to change the place in dozens of chapters. This makes the characters that have been created with great difficulty disappear in a blink of an eye, or it is too late to create more and more emotional characters on different maps.

Without a good foreshadowing, if you want to use a knife, you will not be able to use it with strength and feeling, so it is better not to use a knife, so the reverberation will not be so full and powerful.

Of course, there are other reasons for this, because the echoes come from different people, not the protagonist himself, which makes it impossible for readers to superimpose the same kind of emotions, which leads to the natural release of emotions after a plot, and even the content has been forgotten to a certain extent. .

I have written about other issues in the previous month's summary, such as the sense of character substitution, and what team actions make the interaction too cumbersome, so I won't repeat them one by one. These are all solved by constantly adjusting the writing method and entry point. Solve it, I believe everyone who has been chasing it all the way should be able to understand it.

New stories, new writing methods, there are always various problems, and they are constantly found and solved. For me, it is both pain, joy, and gain, which is very good, laugh.

The fourth part is also a long novel, this time it is no longer written in the style of travel notes. After the company's interlude, it basically focuses on "The First City", and many previous characters will appear again.

Well, the title of the volume is called "Emperor", taken from Beethoven's Fifth Piano Concerto.

The fourth emperor

Chapter 1 New Rules

In the light rain, the jeep sprayed with military green camouflage slowed down and drove towards the entrance of the underground building of "Pangaea".

Looking at the very familiar door even though they had only seen it a few times, Long Yuehong and the others felt uncontrollably excited.

After several months of wandering, I finally want to go home.

Shang Jianyao even raised his hand and wiped the corner of his mouth.

After they left from Hongshiji, they aimed directly at the location of the "Pangaean creatures". They basically didn't stop anywhere along the way, but went to a larger settlement to replenish some food.

Moreover, compared to the time when they first came out, because they no longer need to worry about the ambush of the "Life Sacrifice", the strength of the group has increased a lot, so they didn't make many detours, but just avoided places that are very easy to be ambushed out of caution and caution .

This allows them to effectively shorten the time spent on the return journey.

As the silver-white door at the entrance of "Pangaea" opened, Jiang Baimian noticed at a glance that the layout here was very different from before.

In addition to guarding the security department staff from the original [-] to [-], two additional new security detectors were added.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Baimian pressed the car window, poked his head out, and asked without concealing his doubts.

Liu Chengkun, who was in charge of the entrance area, saw that he was an acquaintance, and walked over with a smile:

"Yo, isn't this Mimian?"

The D8 captain of the Ministry of Security is about 30 years old, with bronze skin and a sharp-edged appearance.

"..." Facing the unfamiliar nickname, Jiang Baimian didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Almost at the same time, she heard a "low" laughter from the back row.

Immediately afterwards, Shang Jianyao "suppressed" his voice, and said to Bai Chen, who was in the passenger seat:

"The name Mianmian is not clear at all."

Bai Chen pursed her lips and did not answer, but the muscles on her face seemed to tremble slightly.

Jiang Baimian took a breath and exhaled slowly, then pulled the handbrake, pushed the door and got out of the car.

She looked at Liu Chengkun, smiled and said:

"Captain Liu, what's the matter? Why are you so strict?"

Hey, who told me that this guy in front of me is my brother's good friend!

Liu Chengkun glanced at Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen who got out of the car, and said with a smile:

"It's not that someone has caused trouble.

"A year ago, a team from the field came back. When handing in the items, a stunned young man hid two items from them and didn't give them to the team leader. As a result, one of them seemed to have some hidden problem, which caused a small area of ​​confusion. Well, it will be resolved soon.

"The board of directors held the minister accountable for this matter, and the minister was also very angry. He changed the rules as soon as the new year was over, requiring additional search and registration posts at the entrance, and asked the team returning to the company to hand in all their items here, and send them out after review. return."

"Pangu" was not so strict about its belongings before. After the preliminary inspection at the gate, it was released directly. The team leader and captain of the corresponding team were responsible for supervising the members to hand over the items brought back from outside.

Jiang Baimian heard this, frowned and sighed with a smile:

"Really, isn't this causing trouble for everyone?"

She said that because she was trying to conceal items.

——She didn't want to hand in the turquoise night pearl that fixed DiMarco's breath.

"That's right, that unlucky ghost has been downgraded by three full levels." Liu Chengkun shook his head and smiled, "Okay, please cooperate."

"Yes." Jiang Baimian did not object.

She greeted Long Yuehong, Bai Chen and Shang Jianyao, and opened the trunk of the jeep.

During this process, she winked at Shang Jianyao.

Shang Jian Yao had already inserted his left hand into his trouser pocket.

He stood there, watching the team leader and Long Yuehong move the two wooden boxes down without any help.

"What is this?" Liu Chengkun asked curiously with several employees of the security department that he summoned to inspect.

According to their experience, the items brought back by field workers are all fragmented, mostly carry-on items and cartons filled with cans. Even if there are large items, they will not make a special wooden box to store them.

Jiang Baimian deliberately smiled and said:

"Open it and see for yourself."

Liu Chengkun was not polite. After all, this was his job. He bent down and lifted the lid of one of the wooden boxes.

"This..." Liu Chengkun was immediately taken aback by the objects that caught his eyes.

This, this TM turned out to be a military exoskeleton device!

In the next second, there were gasps in his ears.

His subordinates opened another wooden box.

Inside is also a military exoskeleton device, and it looks like a newer model!

Taking advantage of the inspectors' eyes being attracted, Jiang Baimian glanced sideways at Shang Jianyao.

Shang Jian Yao pulled out his left hand, smiled and nodded.

Phew, Jiang Baimian quietly let out a sigh of relief.

A few seconds later, Liu Chengkun finally regained consciousness, pointing to the two military exoskeleton devices and said:

"You guys, where did you get this?"

The company doesn't have many such high-tech mechanical and electronic products and military killers, and they are always in short supply in terms of distribution, but Jiang Baimian and his team of four actually own two!

"One was exchanged for materials saved by doing hunter missions, and the other was captured." Jiang Baimian simply explained.

Liu Chengkun and the employees of the security department around him seemed to be listening to a scripture, and the words "I don't believe it" were echoing in their minds.

They have all been on field missions, and some of them even have the status of relic hunters, but they have never found out that they can be exchanged for military exoskeleton devices as hunters!

As for the seizure, they can still understand it. After all, Jiang Baimian's team already has a military exoskeleton device with corresponding strength.

Liu Chengkun was silent for a few seconds, opened his mouth and said:

"You guys have had a lot of experience going out this time."

He gave up the idea of ​​asking for details, because the person Jiang Baimian needed to report was not him, but Vice Minister Xiyu.

"It's just short of saving all mankind." Shang Jianyao replied with a smile.
